Best Lake Trout Fishing in Georgia

[Browniez]

He's talking generically about trout living in lakes, not the species lake trout.

TN and VA have stocked the actual lake trout species in some of their mountain lakes, and they have apparently done well in a couple TN lakes.

A buddy of mine caught an honest to goodness Lake Trout in the Watauga River a couple weeks back. He was EXCITED to say the least. He sent over the pics and he wasn’t lying. Very nice fish too.

Yeah, South Holston and Watauga are two of the lakes they stocked them in. I saw a pic a few months ago of a good-sized one that somebody caught out of the Watauga a good distance above the lake.

I believe lake trout, or (touge) whatever they are called from whatever region are stocked into the lower lake below Fontana.

I think they are stocked in Parksville Lake TN as well.

Interesting info. Fishable Lake Trout populations in TN is interesting indeed. Deep mountain lakes that have cold water available all year should be fine habitat for them.
